Yeah @ZacckOsiemo you are right cus obsession and competency drives real progress here tho and seriously no one is arguing against wanting the best when it matters most. But "justified" shouldnt mean only the elite benefit from innovation. The challenge is to ensure that as we push forward, we are not creating gaps that leave people behind. The innovation should lift us all

, not just a select few

You are chatting on discord with people all over the world, technology is benefitting everyone. You want equality of opportunity not equality if outcome. If they are using it better to their benefit that's amazing, you can too.

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:15 AM

Life expectancy in the 1820s was 30 to 40 yrs, now it is in the 70s. That means since the industrial revolution life expectancy has doubled. Technology is not just for the elite, they just use it better, of course some of that comes down to having resources. But not so much of that, that its impossible for others.

Marvee AmasiOP•10/16/24, 5:17 AM

technology has opened the doors for a lot of people yes that's a fair point

, and it's true that we all have the opportunity to use it in different ways. I guess the key is making sure that those opportunities stay accessible, so people have the tools and support they need to use them to their full potential. It's not to be forcing equal outcomes, but more about ensuring that no one is left out of the race

Marvee AmasiOP•10/16/24, 5:18 AM

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:19 AM

No that's not how nature works, we simply can't take everyone. That's why choices exist, they can choose to participate in advancement or left behind. You can't force progress on people.

MMarvee Amasi Well how do you think we can keep expanding access while encouraging innovation

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:20 AM

this is moot, access is prevalent. It's very very rare to find people who dont have access to choose the hard work in order to progress. Like Charlie Munger said, All of us know what we need to do, only 1% will do it thoughAll of us know what we need to do, only 1% will do it though

Marvee AmasiOP•10/16/24, 5:21 AM

the real win is giving more people the option to participate in that advancement if they want to. It's not about carrying everyone forward , just making sure that the door stays open for those ready to walk through it

Life expectancy in the 1820s was 30 to 40

That is the statistic at birth
If you were lucky enough to survive the various illnesses and get to 15, you had about the same chance of reaching 70 as today.
It is the advances of medicine that means more of us are surviving to 15.

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 6:27 AM

I agree it takes too long, on whether it should or should not I'm on the fence.

They promised me a better world with the advent of the smart phone especially with the open handset alliance, they promised me a better world with Virtual Reality and Augmented reality, they promised me a better world with decentralization and blockchain, they promised me a better world with covid and remote work. The world remained and still remains largely the same.

I am jaded as to how AI will be the magic bullet.

While it is a ‘they’ it never will get better.
‘They’ are mainly interested in ‘them’. If it happens to benefit someone else, then that is a happy accident.

techielew•10/16/24, 6:59 AM

So, that's my queue to break in with the shameless self promotion—or rather, a meetup topic: open source.

How altruistic is a lot of open source tech these days? For example, Zephyr started as a commercial RTOS built by a company that was acquired by Wind River and then open-sourced under the name Rocket and then pushed to LF—but you better believe WR is interested in converting commercial Zephyr users to VxWorks or WR Linux.

Who are the progenitors and maintainers of Zephyr and other popular open-source technologies? Does it matter?

I'd like for this to be the topic of this week's OH meetup but would also like to hear the community's thoughts here.

techielew•10/16/24, 7:03 AM

At best, an open source technology is something that mainly benefitted someone and in some cases gained popularity through the happy accident of also benefitting others. Then marketers realized the power of the messaging and have spun up a largely rosy image of homebrew + counter-culture + cost savings + flexibility + self-reliance that it's hard not to get on board with.

ke7c2mi•10/16/24, 12:36 PM

You're missing something here

Things taking less time should lead to more free time and frolicking

You're actually mad that the structure of society is such that everyone needs a job, i.e. at money and capitalism

To me it is crazy to think we would keep "busy work" for the sake of it, so we can give people made up tokens..... maybe you need to take a step back to see it, but this is very crazy

ke7c2mi•10/16/24, 12:40 PM

To try and express this in a more concrete way, lets say for the sake of argument, it takes 100 hours of human labour to provide for 1000 people

We can see the % utilisation per person is 10% to maintain this. Lets say the rest of the utilisation is made up with frolicking. Society is 10% work, 90% frolick

Lets say we have an innovation, and now it only costs 50 hours to provide for 1000 people, now the % utilisation per person is 5%, and we are at 95% frolick

In your statement you claim that %frolick goes down as %utilisation goes down, but we can see that the natural effect in this system is that frolicking goes up with utilisation going down

So - go and find the mechanism that makes what you said true (and it IS true today) - and get very specifically mad at that bit

Michael W•10/18/24, 1:07 AM

I'm a system administrator/engineer, mainly dealing with computer networks. I'm a hobbiest and attempt to teach myself new things all the time. I've done some arduino programming and a bit of a gear head. I've developed a digital dashboard using a RK3399 from Firefly for a car that I'm doing a retro mod on. I've gotten to a point where I feel my next step in doing what I'm wanting to do with it will require me to make my own PCB's because the things I'm wanting don't exist. I would say I'm a novice to intermediate with PCB components, where I understand what things are and can look at schematics or wiring diagrams and understand them.
